CLOSURE OB. DOOR.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented I une ill, tgt@ Application filed December 4, 1917. Serial No.205,399.

To all fwlwm t may concern:

Be it known that I, JAMES HowDEN HnME, a subject of the King of theUnited K1ngdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and re-l siding at Glasgow,Scotland, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Closuresor Doors, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an improved closure or door such for exampleas a smoke box door, and has for its primary object to provide aconstruction which insures a tight tting of the door at the margin ofthe seating surface, more particularly adjacent to that edge at whichthe hinge is located, whether the door be hinged at either of the sidesor at the top or bottom.

In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is an elevation showing adouble-leaf door according to the invention; Figs. 2 and 3 are detailviews in elevation and sectional plan showing the adaptation of theinvention to a single-leaf hinged door.

The same reference characters denote similar parts in the several views.

As shown, extending longitudinally of the hinged edge of the door leafor each door leaf l of a door is or are one or more eccentrics 2 bearingon the face of the door leaf at or near the line of abutment with thestile plate4 3, and formed with pintles t eccentric to the bearingsurface and tting stationary sockets 5 secured to the stile or otherfixed plate.

The said eccentric or each eccentric is formed with an integral lateralprojection or projections 6 adapted to be impacted by a hammer when thedoor is closed so as by Copies of this patent may be obtained for vecents each, by addressing the angular movement of the eccentric to closethe door tightly; or the eccentric may be moved angularly by means of akey, lever or other instrument.

In the construction shown in Fig. l the door leaves l are arranged oneon each side of a common stile plate to which the socket forming members5 are disconnectibly se cured as for example by means of bolts.

What I claim is 1. In combination with a door hinged along one edge,stationary sockets, and an angularly movable eccentric extending alongand bearing against the hinged edge of the door, said eccentric beingformed with pintles closely fitting said sockets.

2. In combination with sockets, and an eccentric extending along andbearing against one edge of said door, said eccentric being formed withpintles closel fitting said sockets and with an integralY lateralprojection by which it may be turned.

3. The combination of a door, sentin a seating face to be engaged by thedoor a jacent to one edge thereof, said plate having sockets adjacent tosaid edge and an eccentric formed with pintles itting said sockets, saideccentric being angularly movble to press the door against said seatingIn testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.
